The DDCP Link offers users and network managers an easy way to protect expensive and mobile IT equipment with LAN ports from damage. Should the mobile IT equipment need to move in a larger radius than permitted by the connected RJ45 connection cable, the DDCP Link cuts the connection once a specific tensile force is exceeded, and protects the expensive boards in the IT equipment from damage such as torn-out contacts or loss of the RJ45 connector for the network connection. Expensive repairs are a thing of the past. The release force is below the standard specifications for RJ45 plugs and sockets according to IEC 60603-7, this ensures that the connection between the RJ45 connection cable and DDCP Link is released first. Nevertheless, the DDCP provides sufficient insertion and withdrawal forces in order to prevent unintentional release of the connection at low tensile forces. The DDCP can be easily integrated into existing structures, in which it is inserted e.g. between the telecommunications socket, connection cable and before the active device.
